Minnesota Now: Dec. 3, 2025
Description
The Somali community is at the center of a reported ICE operation in the Twin Cities, bringing fear to a community of 80,000 people. We spoke to state senator Omar Fateh, who represents many Somali Minnesotans and is Somali himself. Plus, we checked in with a Minneapolis Imam and a Somali Minneapolis police sergeant about how community leaders are responding.
MPR News reporter Jon Collins was also out in the Somali community, asking what they've seen in the last 24 hours.
Plus, temperatures are plummeting due to arctic air in our region. MPR meteorologist Brandon Weatherz gave us the details on how long these cold temperatures will last.
And, a local author is bringing together the first refugee writing cohort. We learned more about the project ahead of their first event Wednesday.
Our Minnesota Music Minute was “Lullaby” by Low and our Song of the Day was “Cerulean” by Ocean Blue.
